Bing Copilot AI Mode Scraper 🤖 Answers & Citations

Bing Copilot AI Mode Scraper asks Bing's AI Mode (Copilot Search) any question and returns the whole answer: markdown and plain text, the answer split into sections, the numbered citations Bing shows beside it, every source Bing read, and the links cited inside the text. Add your brand names and domains and every answer also tells you whether you were mentioned and whether Bing cited your site.

Built for SEO and GEO / AEO teams tracking AI-search visibility, brand and PR teams watching what AI says about them, researchers collecting AI answers and their sources at scale, and developers who want Bing's AI answers as JSON, without an API key, a Microsoft account or a browser.

What does Bing Copilot AI Mode Scraper do?

Give it questions and it returns one clean record per question, ready for JSON, CSV or Excel.

• The full answer — headline, short summary, sections, lists, tables and code blocks, as markdown and as plain text (optionally cleaned HTML).
• Citations — Bing's numbered source cards (URL, title, site, snippet) and the links cited inside each section.
• Sources read — every page Bing says it read to write the answer.
• Brand and domain tracking — list the brands and domains you care about; each answer reports mentions per brand and, per domain, whether Bing cited it and at which citation number.
• 28 markets — the country and language Bing answers in.
• Fast and light — no browser: a typical answer takes about 20 seconds and a few hundred kilobytes, and several run side by side.

What data can you extract from Bing AI Mode?

Category	Fields
Answer	title, summary, markdown, text, optional html
Structure	sections (heading, level, markdown, cited_urls)
Citations	citations (number, url, title, site, domain, snippet, favicon), cited_urls
Sources read	sources (Title, Url, Domain, Snippet, FaviconId, as Bing names them)
Tracking	_meta.visibility.brands, _meta.visibility.domains (only when you track something)
Context	query, _meta.market, _meta.position, _meta.from_cache, _meta.generator, _meta.duration_s, _meta.scraped_at, _meta.source_url

The answer is delivered as Bing wrote it, converted to markdown and text; nothing is paraphrased. Everything the Actor adds sits under _meta.

Why use it on Apify?

Running it on Apify gives you API access, scheduling (track the same questions every week), monitoring, integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n, webhooks) and proxy rotation without managing infrastructure.

How to scrape Bing AI Mode answers

1. Open Bing Copilot AI Mode Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Type your questions into Prompts, one per line (or paste Bing AI Mode links).
3. Pick the Market you want the answer for.
4. Optionally list Brands to track and Domains to track.
5. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
6. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or fetch them over the API.

How much does it cost to scrape Bing AI Mode?

You pay per answer delivered. A prompt Bing gives no answer for, or that cannot be completed, is never charged, and notices are never charged.

Event	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD
AI answer returned	$0.0060	$0.0055	$0.0050	$0.0045

• 1,000 answers cost about $6.00 at the highest tier price and $4.50 on GOLD.
• Test with two or three prompts first.
• Set a maximum cost per run in Apify and the Actor only runs as many prompts as that budget can buy.

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal to scrape Bing AI Mode?

The Actor collects publicly available answers, the same ones anyone sees in a browser without signing in, and respects the source's limits. Answers and the pages they cite belong to other people, so check the terms and your local rules before reusing them. This is not legal advice.

Do I need a Bing or Microsoft account, a Copilot subscription or an API key?

No. It works from your questions alone. Microsoft retired the Bing Search API in 2025; this Actor needs no Azure key.

Is this the same as copilot.microsoft.com?

No. It reads Bing's AI Mode (the "AI Mode" tab on Bing, at bing.com/copilotsearch), the generated answer Bing shows for a search, with its citations. It does not hold a chat with the Copilot app, and it answers one question at a time (no follow-up turns).

Why does the same question give a different answer next time?

AI answers vary from run to run, and Bing sometimes re-serves an answer it generated earlier (_meta.from_cache is then true). For tracking, ask the same prompts on a schedule and compare over time rather than relying on a single run.

What do the market choices do?

Bing answers in the language of your prompt; the market sets the region, the interface language and the sources Bing prefers (it is not offered in Russia or South Korea). The United States market is requested by language only: Bing's answer page misbehaves when a US market and country are both forced, so for that market Bing also looks at where the request comes from.

What is the difference between citations, cited_urls and sources?

citations are the numbered cards Bing shows next to the answer. cited_urls are the links Bing placed inside the text, with sections[].cited_urls telling you which section each belongs to. sources is the longer list of pages Bing says it read, whether or not it cited them.

Why did a prompt return no answer?

Bing does not write an AI answer for every search (plain navigational ones such as a site's login page often get none). You get one notice record with _meta.type: "no_answer" and are not charged. Rephrasing it as a question usually works.

What happens if Bing refuses or fails?

The Actor retries on a fresh connection. If a prompt still cannot be answered you get one notice record with _meta.type: "error" and are not charged; the run still finishes normally.

What happens if a run is interrupted?

The Actor saves its progress and picks up where it left off, without re-asking or re-charging prompts it has already delivered.

Why did my run return fewer answers than prompts?

Situation	What you see	What to do
Bing wrote no AI answer	One notice record with _meta.type: "no_answer" (not charged)	Rephrase as a question
Bing kept refusing the prompt	One notice record with _meta.type: "error" (not charged)	Run it again later
The run reached its time limit	One notice record with _meta.type: "time_limit"	Raise the run timeout or give fewer prompts
Your maximum cost per run was reached	The run stops after the last answer it charged for	Raise the maximum cost per run
